This whole situation reminds me of the lame FEMA response to Katrina . I remember the FEMA head declaring at a press conference how pleased he was at the response while people in New Orleans and other places were clinging to roof tops. This guy was so incompetent he was replaced within a few days. The current response is about at that same level of competency.
